Dark Chocolate Macarons Recipe

Indulge in these delectable Dark Chocolate Macarons. These macarons are filled with a smooth and creamy chocolate ganache and are perfectly crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside.

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 4 ounces chopped dark chocolate
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 3 large egg whites, room temp
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Time Needed

• Prep Time: 30 minutes
• Cook Time: 18 minutes
• Total Time: 48 minutes

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
• Two baking sheets should be lined with parchment paper.
• Sift together almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a large mixing bowl.
• Separately, beat the egg whites on medium speed until frothy.
• Beat in the granulated sugar and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg white mixture with a spatula until just combined.
• Transfer the mixture to a piping bag and pipe small rounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
• To release any air bubbles, gently tap the baking sheets on the counter.
• Allow the macarons to rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until a skin forms on the surface.
• Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
• Remove the macarons from the oven and place them on the baking sheets to cool completely.
• Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan until it is just simmering.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate chunks.
• Allow for a couple of minutes before whisking until smooth.
• Allow the chocolate ganache to cool and thicken until it is spreadable.
• Match the macarons by size and spread the chocolate ganache on one macaron's flat side.
• To make a sandwich, top with another macaron.
• Refrigerate the macarons in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
